o future of Phonon
* Upstream (sandsmark) recommends building/packaging phonon from qt, and
building/packaging backends separately.
* Mandriva developments integrating pulseaudio support (and improving
gstreamer backend). [1]
* We will move back to building a standalone phonon SRPM.
* The vote for the default backend is split 3:3, needs the 7th vote from
svahl.
Sorry for the delay. Was a bit busy and not at home.
I tend to xine as default backend for several reasons:
- It worked fine for me for several releases (and according to bugs for other
too)
- It is recommend by upstream.
- We won't get trouble with the amarok guys. :)
- At least on one system I have no sound with gstreamer (maybe caused by other
issues, have to re-check that).
So I'm a bit conservative here, but +1 for xine.
